More about Dr. Rafik Sidaros, MD

I am a traditionally trained Psychiatrist, with double Board Certification status. After completing medical school and a first residency in psychiatry in Egypt, my journey brought me to the State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center, in Brooklyn, where I completed my four-year psychiatry residency training program. I subsequently joined the Yale University School of Medicine Law and Psychiatry program where I completed my fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry. My eclectic professional experience included working as a volunteer psychiatrist in Egypt with African and Middle Eastern refugees, survivors of torture and sexual traumas, working with 9/11 survivors, and first responders during my years in New York, as well as LGBTQ+ refugees and asylum seekers in both the Middle East and the United States. After graduating from Yale, I was appointed as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, and I spent several years doing forensic work, which included medication management of the most severe psychiatric presentations. My work also frequently involved testifying under oath. I later moved to the West Coast and transitioned into general outpatient psychiatry work. Finally, I decided to listen to my heart and started doing the work that brings me the most joy. This is how Rainbow Psychiatry was born.
